Dropbox Ver. 1.1.1- Install this with Root Explorer or Astro. Uninstall the previous version first.

Dropbox 1.1.1 Version 2 - This has the inverted lockscreen settings, but I'm still fighting with the regular settings screen. I have also changed the app icon to black (Thanks to stetsonaw for pointing this out. I guess I was kind of tired by the time I was swapping out images.). You should be able to install this over version 1.

So awesome, thx for doing this. I know this is a themer's nightmare, but have u seen that they have a newer beta up on their site? I know they're asking ppl to test it.. but i don't see any major differences (or any differences really). I'll post the apk when back home.

and the dropbox forum page where it's located.. fwiw.
It might just be worth it for to wait for the 1.1 update, which it seems they're gearing up for.

Btw, I'm so stoked you did this. I gave inverting a shot a little while back, and was having probs. Any tips or anything u did special with the xml edits?

When I do xml edits, I use Notepad ++ and Code Compare. If I have another apk that I can use as a base, then Code Compare comes in handy. If not, then I can use Notepad ++ to do free edits. Always start with a search in Notepad ++ for "background". This will show you what files or png's will need to be edited. Another thing that you can do is just use a color instead of the png or xml reference.

For example, if the background reference shows: android:background "@drawable/baseline_photo", you can always replace the part in quotes with "#ff000000" to make it black.

In the Dropbox app, I was able to do 80% of the edits in res/values/colors.xml. This is also a good place to start when editing an xml file. Also, res/values/styles.xml handles a lot of the theming elements. Dropbox didn't have very much in styles.xml though. I didn't even make any changes in there.

Very cool app makeover! Be sure and do the same to the new release coming from the DropBox site in the near future. Gotta love these guys on this site. They as a group are very talented, friendly, helpful and all around nice people!

Just popping in to say *love this*. The more inversion/trans I get on my phone the longer my battery seems to last - and the less "OMG THE BLINDING BRIGHTNESS" I experience in dark rooms in the middle of the night. Which, oddly, happens more than I thought it would.

I'll do the new one when it is an official release. I don't want to do the beta because they may release the official one right after I get it done.

I think I may start on AppBrain App Market next.

Edit: Nevermind on the AppBrain inversion. In playing around with it, I noticed there is an option for a dark theme.
